What is necessary to create a change, is for the department or college, to have acomprehensive and integrated set of components: clearly articulated expectations, opportunitiesfor faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and an equitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies of engagement.The theme advocated here is that student involvement is an essential aspect of meaningfullearning.
